Unique in its kind .The Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and169 targets is tackling a broad spectrum of development issuescrucial to human prosperity.In June 2017, during the UN Ocean Conference, Man and the BiosphereProgramme (MAB) in Sweden, Swedish National Commission ofUNESCO, and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Managementpledged a joint commitment to facilitate learning and dissemination ofgood practices from UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in the Baltic SeaRegion, within and beyond the network of biosphere reserves.Theintentions of this joint commitment shall contribute to raisingawareness of sustainability challenges linked to the Baltic Sea,enhanced knowledge of interconnectedness between land and sea, aswell as learning from biosphere reserves as arenas for implementingthe SDGs with a multi -stakeholder approach.Biosphere for Baltic is the result of this voluntary commitment.Two themesThe project focuses around two themes: Source to Sea and Learning andOcean Literacy. Both themes are of great importance to sustainabledevelopment in the Baltic Sea and for the implementation of SDG14 –LifeBelow Water . The themes are also broad, in the sense that they covermany topics and can be interpreted widely.Source to sea is highly relevant for the Baltic Sea, with its dynamicinterface between land and ocean. Human activities upstream; on landand along rivers, affect the ecosystem downstream; in the coastal zoneand the marine environment, with several associated environmentalchallenges, e.g. plastic pollution, water quality, eutrophication etc.Ocean literacy is defined as “an understanding of the ocean's influence onyou and your influence on the ocean” and learning is key to increasedocean literacy among people and in the society stories. The biospherereserves in the Baltic Sea Region raise awareness and educate people on adaily basis –by connecting people to nature and by stimulating newknowledge development as well as education for sustainabledevelopment.GOALS of the BFBincreasing the dialogue between biosphere reserves in the Baltic Sea region,raising awareness about RB among stakeholders,exchange of good examples, inspirations and ideas for future cooperationexchange of experience between RB in the Baltic region.Methods of cooperation, i.e. what we actually dosix exchange events and online meetingsworkshops on communication, sustainable tourism, promotion of localproducts education and others ,.joint project, Interreg for the Baltic Sea region .
